You referring this line?
And wouldn’t that mean she co-owns the rights?Lauren Shuler Donner, the producer who helped Twentieth Century Fox snap up the film rights to the X-Men characters 23 years ago, is the first to admit that her very financially lucrative franchise has had a few creative rough patches.

I agree, there needs to be some "lighter aspects" that should be touched on. It isn't believable that these super beings would have all these wonderful powers and be cry babies all the time.
I do think that the X-Men should skew more toward a mature audience from time-to-time, with some future spin-offs or standalone movies flirting with or adopting an R rating (like Deadpool or Logan) if need be, due to language, violence, or sexual content.
Deadline is saying the deal could be finished this year
The agreement also provides Disney with the opportunity to reunite the X-MEN with the Marvel family under one roof and create richer, more complex worlds of inter-related characters and stories that audiences have shown they love. It only makes sense for Marvel to be supervised by one entity. There shouldn't be two Marvels.
Nice. Could X-Force be the first film produced after the merger and under Feige’s watch? I hope so.
It’s not being scrapped. They didn’t buy this IP to toss the R-rated stuff that’s working. It’ll happen.
The X-men are a different matter. I have a feeling they’ll get rebooted, but in a Spider-man: Homecoming way where we’re not re-telling the origin. Everyone knows who they are. Just hit the ground running.
But Deadpool and X-Force will be fine.
Even if they wanted to hard reboot and scrap everything and I think they will for the most part I do think the Deadpool/X-Force film is safe due to two factors one success of Deadpool and two since he breaks the 4th wall he can specifically make a joke like "where's the Avengers when you need them? Oh yeah the mouse won't allow me to play in the MCU."

Agreed. They have basically telegraphed that this is where they’re going in their statements. They won’t throw out the one franchise that everyone loves and is making them lots of money. They’ll keep it mostly contained, but will likely allow for funny lines and cameos and other things (e.g., SHIELD presence) which kind of establish it as in the MCU, but the MCU films won’t reference it.
See Deadpool is a great character for that because he can do his own thing and because he's a 4th wall breaking nut he can show up in a official MCU film like Guardians or something I mean think of it "Deadpool in Space" Reynolds would get a kick out of that I think but he could show up and say things about the XCU and people would be
He's the one Fox character that Marvel can have their cake and eat it too a character who can come to the MCU with no continuity baggage because any reference to the XCU can be waved away as him being insane.
